To overcome challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Unit for Teaching Excellence and Leadership (UTEL) in the University of Bahrain adopted a set of modern technologies and applications to ensure the digitalization of the teaching and learning process in an interactive manner. UTEL conducted a full-day workshop that was attended by over 150 educators across Bahrain and the region. In addition to workshops, UTEL provided the academic faculty access to the most significant tools that enable and facilitate online learning. It enlisted the use of many apps such as Popplet to encourage creative learning, Slack to keep teams connected, Google classroom for online grading and file sharing between educator and student and, the web-based platform Extempore, designed for online oral assessments. Learning via games was possible using the aid of applications such as Quizlet and Gimkit.
UTEL conducted many training and interactive workshops to enhance the technical skills of higher education personnel, attended by more than 800 faculty members during the current academic year.
